Actually, now that I think of it, you’re probably thinking of the “Sons of Empire” story, in which the Snow Queen lays out her plan for destroying the Mundy world, and then Pinocchio, not Bigby (though Bigby does appear in the vision that Pinocchio lays out), tells her (as well as Gepetto, the Emperor and several others) how the Fabletown residents and Mundies will likely hand the Empire its proverbial ass.

You are very likely correct; my memory is terrible these days. Anyway, it was a lovely bit of wartime braggadocio, and, dimly as I recall it, I recall it with much fondness!
